I personally think it was not handled well. No element of surprise. Insufficient equipment, long rifles were used by most SWAT operatives for a bus assault. And no full control over the situation. There should have been a Media blackout, the hostage taker was actually watching the police's every move on an on-board TV inside the bus. Just my opinion.

On the other hand, we still need to thank our police force for being there and trying to resolve the problem...we still need to support them. this should serve as a lesson to everybody. Makulit tamen kasi el Media. Very hard to put a blame on anybody...kunel hostage taker dapat man blame! hehe.

we need to minimize politics and corruption in our arm forces for them to be able to buy proper equipment needed for these kind of situation. Using tear gas without masks. lol. yup, bien makulit gat el media. hehehe.
